investment in my development, as I left with a stronger appre-
ciation of our materiel life cycle processes and the professional
workforce that executes these di cult missions every day.
I look forward to continuing to serve this great Army and to
applying what I have learned. My hope is that I left a similar
impression on the PEO and that the change I helped foster will
endure. is was a unique opportunity the Army a orded me,
and I highly recommend that the Army expand this approach
and provide other general o cers, many of whom could bring
their expertise and years of experience into the process, the same
opportunity to contribute new perspectives for improving our
network capabilities.
e Army should focus not just on the network, but should
expand this approach to our other challenging capability port-
folios like ground combat vehicles and intelligence. I will forever
cherish my time at Aberdeen and the C4ISR community and
look forward to future opportunities to serve in this community
again.

CAPABILITY AND TRAINING
The author, center, traveled to Fort Carson, Colorado, in February 2017 for a capability set
fielding visit with the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. One takeaway
from his time as assistant PEO C3T is that whether Soldiers get enough time training on a system
matters just as much as what the Army designed the system to do. (U.S. Army photo)
